Debbie, a dear friend of ours had a birthday coming up, so Celinda decided to throw her a surprise birthday party and asked me to be in on the planning and decorating part.And you know me, party planning is right up my alley. So we worked ever so busily for a few weeks, keeping it all under wraps and praying it would all turn out well.

And it did. Everything came together beautifully and perfectly. It was a wonderful evening full of friends and good food, some good laughs and a few tears. My pictures don't do it all justice, but I hope you can at least catch the spirit of it.

All dressed up and waiting.

Celinda's husband, Creg, hung twinkle lightsand Chinese lanterns all round the yard,giving it the most romantic and sweet atmosphere.

Sadie~Rose was never at a loss for someone to hold her during the evening.

The fire outside was roaring,

and was complete with a tray of s'mores fixings.

Surprise! Happy Birthday!

Can you tell that she was surprised? :)Baby Gabe did not like everyone's shouts at all!
